Description

Students complete this worksheet after testing their egg drop design and watching others in the class. They sketch their design, and then reflect on how and why it was successful, with a focus on materials choice. They’re encouraged to look at areas that could be improved upon, as well as ideas that others had that might help their design, which they’re asked to incorporate in their improved design.
